“Iliana is so great with my pup! She is always on time, sends me photos and trustworthy in my home. My pups is timid at first but after a few weeks being walked by Iliana I can see how comfortable she has gotten with her by the look on her face in each photo!”

About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including horses, cats, and dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me! I currently have a sweet and silly 1.5 year old Frenchie who keeps me on my toes! I recently lost my 11year old German Shepherd, and I’ve found myself really missing that daily companionship. I’d love to share that extra time, care, and affection with your furry family members. I have experience with a wide range of dogs from pups who need strict feeding schedules, senior pups who require patience & care, to large (95lb+) reactive dogs who require solo walks and extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets just like you would, with lots of love, respect, and attention! (Huxley will not be joining during house sitting appointments unless your request him too. :)) I work from home so I have flexibility for local daily drop ins & walks, after work walks, or weekend care. We can discuss your needs and see how that works best for your requirements! I’ll follow any requirements you have for caring for your pets in your home! I am happy to discuss further to make sure I can fulfill your pets needs.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.

About: I grew up with cats and now am a very proud blue heeler-boco mix parent. I am always happier if there is an animal in the room :) I love caring for, learning about, and working with all animals. I look forward to learning about what makes your pet special and unique. I’m a teacher off for the summer, so have a flexible schedule to be able to help out with pet care. Hanging out with some new pet friends pets is always a great day! We live in Central City, so comfortable with mountain properties. I understand my job as learning your pet’s routine in order to offer as much consistency (and love/enrichment in your absence) as possible. I am here to respect your rules, expectations, and “how it’s done” when it comes to caring for your pet in your home.

“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and absolutely love them. Our pets are a part of our family. I think they should be loved and cared for while their owners are away and not put into a cage for the weekend. This causes stress and anxiety! Why should we be having all of the fun our pets deserve a normal weekend while we are away! I enjoy being outside and taking our dogs for walks and playing fetch! I also enjoy just snuggling up with our pup and watching a movie! I will take care of your dog like it is my own so you can have fun and not worry while you're on vacation! I am dependable and honest. Call me for your next vacation!

About: I come from an animal loving family and have had a wide range of pets my entire life. From dogs, to cats, to fish, and rats! We always had some sort of pet at all times and I always had a hand in caring for them all. I recently moved to the Denver area and am amazed at the amount of people who own a dog! Although I am too busy to own one myself, I am happy to care for anyone’s pet when needed! I work full time from 8 - 5 so I am available for pet care before or after work and on the weekends! I also work remotely on Fridays and am available for check ins and walks on my lunch break! Since I am renting an apartment, I am not allowed to care for pets in my own residence but I am willing to do whatever care is necessary at your pets home!

About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

About: Hi! I’m Josie. First thing to know about me- My love for dogs and cats is beyond. One thing that consistently makes my day is spoiling animals. I enjoy staying fit so running, jogging or hiking with dogs is even better - it keeps me going! I Have 10 years experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and training, as well as working in boarding/daycare facilities. I always look forward to building a trusting relationship and continuing care for your fury family member(s) whenever you may need it. I prefer interviewing before hand so I can get to know you and your pet(s), and, of course, so that you feel can comfortable with me. I am very flexible with my schedule and reliable all around. Love for your pets will always be a top priority of mine- that’s a given. This is something that excites me, as animal rights/connection is one of my greatest (if not the greatest) passions. Please contact me and you can expect a quick reply! Pet care will be and always is my first priority. Besides this, I’m currently working a separate very part-time job and in college online until the end of summer- I am very open and available as of now. No matter the location, I care for all animals the same. As far as what I can do for your family (as of now), I am available to come care for your pets at your home, where I’ll follow any instructions and precautions you provide just as I would my own. I am available to come take your baby(babies) on walks when you may need, feedings, or just some love in your absence, of course!!

“Shelby was great with Willis! She took him for an even longer hike than expected and was very communicative with me throughout. I would request her again!”

About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.

About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.

About: I lived with pets growing up...dogs, cats, reptiles, horses. I am very active, and will play or run with your animal for hours! I am licensed to administer medication to humans, and have volunteered with wild animal rescues, so I can care for sick animals too. I choose the hours I work at my job, allowing me to pick up a shift at any hour and remain flexible with last-minute changes. I won’t be boarding at my home, but I have reliable transportation and wouldn’t mind taking your dog to a dog park or nearby hiking trail. Otherwise, let me know what you and your animal feel most comfortable with! I will always respect your wishes. :) I can be flexible, if you communicate your needs with me! ;) Message me to schedule a public meeting place and time so I can get to know you and your dog, then leave from there if it feels right. I only meet in public spaces. :) You can get to know me and how I will vibe with your dog or cat before we hit the trails.

“Rebecca is so sweet with our pup. He is excited when she shows up. We appreciate her walk notes and pictures. It’s a match made in dog heaven.”

“Michelle was an absolute win for Aum. She was stoked to be walked by her. She loved her mid day walks & companionship during my longer work days. Michelle brought attentiveness, patience, & thoughtful handling to every walk, and it showed in Aum’s demeanor. I had full confidence in the care & attention she provided. Would gladly book with her again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, intuitive care. Thank you so much Michelle!”

About: Hello, my name is Brianne! I live in the Denver metro area and have two dogs of my own, Boomer (12) and Penny (2). They’re my adventure buddies, whether we’re hiking Colorado trails, kayaking, or just playing fetch with Boomer’s favorite frisbee. I’ve cared for pets for years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. With experience caring for both energetic young dogs and sweet seniors, I understand how to meet each dog’s unique needs. What sets me apart is the love and attention I give. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m reliable, patient, and mindful of details like special diets, medications, and routines, so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Since caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, it’s easy for me to add in walks, playtime, or drop in visits for other pets throughout the week. I enjoy structuring my days around making sure animals get the exercise, attention, and love they need. Whether that’s a quick midday walk or a longer weekend adventure. When caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I stick to their usual feeding and walking schedule, provide plenty of playtime, and give them a cozy space to relax. My dogs, Boomer and Penny, are friendly and love making new furry friends, so visiting pets get lots of companionship. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely. I make sure feedings, medications, walks, and playtime are consistent with what they’re used to so they feel secure and cared for. I also provide updates and pictures so pet parents know their pets are happy and well looked after.

“We were very pleased with Lilou during our recent trip. She was very attentive and reliable with caring for our dog. We would hire her again.”
